24-Hour Care means someone is there, awake and present, through the night and all day. We’re not checking in once or twice. We’re living in your parent’s home, handling medications, managing fall risk, keeping watch during the hours when things go wrong most often. Your parent isn’t alone, and you can finally sleep.
On any given day, you’ll see our caregiver helping with bathing and dressing, preparing meals, managing medications on schedule, staying alert for signs of confusion or pain, and being there if a fall happens at 3 a.m. We handle the bathroom safety, the kitchen, the stairs, the nighttime bathroom trips. Families tell us the relief is real: you stop waiting for the bad news.
In Prospect, we understand what comes after a Waterbury Hospital discharge. That’s when around-the-clock safety matters most. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what to watch for, how to catch problems early, and when to communicate with doctors. We don’t just show up. We stay present and alert.
Our founder is a nurse. We’ve seen too many middle-of-the-night falls go unwitnessed and unreported. 24-Hour Care means someone is awake during the hours your parent is most vulnerable, trained to spot balance problems, bathroom hazards, and confusion before it becomes a crisis.
We don’t assign caregivers randomly. We listen to what your parent needs, their personality, their routines, and we match experience to fit. Your parent will see the same faces day after day, not a rotating schedule of strangers.
If your parent’s health changes, if medications adjust, if something worries you at midnight, you reach us directly. We’re not a call center in another state. We respond, we adapt, and we keep you in the loop.
We know Prospect, Waterbury, Cheshire, Wolcott, and Naugatuck. We’re familiar with Waterbury Hospital’s discharge process and how to coordinate with your parent’s doctors and specialists nearby.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Our caregiver is there from evening through morning, handling bedtime routines, medications, overnight bathroom trips, and morning care. During the day, we continue with meals, medications, personal hygiene, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. We keep a log of what we observe, note any changes, and stay alert for falls, confusion, pain, or other concerns. You're not guessing what happened while you weren't there.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours of discharge if we have notice. The sooner you contact us after you know your parent is coming home, the better. We coordinate with the hospital, review discharge instructions, and make sure our caregiver understands any new medications or restrictions. If your parent comes home on a Friday, we can discuss emergency weekend options with you right away.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover part-time home health aide services, which are different. We work with families who need continuous care and are paying out of pocket. We're honest about cost, and we can discuss what this looks like for your situation without pressure.
A home health aide typically works 4, 8, or 12 hours a week and helps with specific tasks ordered by a doctor. 24-Hour Care means your parent has a caregiver living in or present continuously, awake through the night, managing all of daily life and safety. It's the difference between supervised visits and constant presence, especially during the hours when falls and emergencies happen most.
Yes. We start by understanding your parent's temperament, health needs, daily routines, and what matters most to them. We listen to what you're worried about, too. Then we match a caregiver whose experience and personality fit. We don't promise a perfect fit right away, but we stay flexible and adjust if needed.
We cover the gap with backup caregivers we've already briefed on your parent's needs and routines. We don't cancel or leave you scrambling. We notify you early if a change is coming, and we make sure whoever steps in knows your parent's medications, preferences, safety concerns, and how to reach you or the doctor. Your parent's care doesn't stop.
